-----------------------
Transitions are the movement or changes from one position, stage or state to another. These changes can be gradual or sudden, and last for differing periods of time.

Transitions can be stressful for children and young people and this stress can have far reaching effects on children’s emotional wellbeing and academic achievement.

Children face many transitions in their young lives. One of the main transitions is changing schools. This may make them feel anxious and nervous, they may be apprehensive about what their new school is going to be like. They may be sad because they are leaving their friends and familiar security of their previous school. They may experience sense of loss and even bereavement about losing friends. They may become ill, this maybe a genuine stress related to illness or a pretend illness that will delay the change that is upsetting them. Younger children may become clingy and display behaviour of a younger child because they feel vulnerable. Older children may have sleepless nights. They may develop mood swings and become grumpy and irritable. They may experience loss of appetite or binge to comfort. In extreme cases children may self-harm or even think about suicide....

Children and young peoples development can be influenced by a range of personal factors. If a child has a disability it may prevent the child from developing in one or more areas, they may feel excluded and maybe have not got enough support to promote development. If a child has learning difficulties they will struggle to develop as it may take them longer to understand different things. A child’s health can also be a major factor of their development, they need the correct diet, may be stressed of their home living conditions can also affect their development. Sensory impairment can also affect children as they may not be able to afford the resources they need to promote development such as glasses.

Children and young peoples development can be influenced by a range of external factors. Poverty and deprivation can affect a child’s development as they mightn’t be getting the same resources as another child as they cant afford them. Children now a days play on play stations and other computing games and the children in the less well off families cant afford these toys and the child may start to feel left out and deprived and excluded from other boys and girls who can afford these toys....

...CYPOP1: Work with babies and young children to promote their development and learning.
Babies and toddlers show amazing progress in all aspects of their development from birth to three years, considering they are born with simple reflexes and are quite helpless and dependent. It is essential to have a good understanding of the developmental stages in this age group in order to support their development.
Development and learning are closely tied. Children need to develop certain skills in order for them to learn, but also the desire to learn something or achieve a goal can motivate a child to develop the necessary skills. A good example of this is walking. For a baby to begin to walk, a level if coordination and growth is required, but the baby must also have the desire to walk. During the process of learning to walk, the child will develop balance, strength in the legs and improved coordination. Once the child can walk, a whole new world can be discovered as the child now reach things and see things from a different level. Therefore, learning to walk as improved both the child’s physical development, and his or her cognition.
It is not fully understood why some children appear to learn more quickly than others, but it is thought that there are both genetic and environmental factors at play.

...effects of five different life factors, on the development of an individual. P3: Explain the influences of two predictable and two unpredictable major life events on the development of the individual.
In this assignment I will be explaining two predictable and unpredictable major life events on the development of the celebrity I am researching who is Simon Cowell. Predictable refers to telling someone about something in advance of its occurrence. The term is also defined as a state in which one is capable of being foretold. It is further defined as the state of being certain that something is going to happen. In contrary, unpredictable refers to when something you don't expect to happen, happens. It is also something that is not predictable. Something difficult or impossible to foresee is unpredictable. For example the exact second of a person’s death would be unpredictable.

0-3months- babies tend to sleep most of the time and they grow fast. They need opurtunities where they can play and exercise with different kinds of toys e.g soft toys, books.

...﻿UNIT 01 CHILD AND YOUNG PERSON DEVELOPMENT
Introduction
1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years to include:
(a) physical development
(b) communication and intellectual development
(c) social, emotional and behavioural development.
Using Teena Kamens’ book “Teaching assistants Handbook Level 2” she describes the expected pattern as sequences. These sequences do not occur at fixed ages but do occur between birth and age 19. The expected pattern includes (a),(b) and (c) because these are regarded as the aspects within the sequences of a childsdevelopment and this is for every child.
Every child will develop physically, intellectually, socially, emotionally and communicably and ( on this course) we have been taught to remember this by using the word spice as in S.P.I.C.E. The acronym SPICE is categorised using the following:
Social Development – Interacting with others
Physical development – body capabilities and growth
Intellectual Development – thinking, solving problems
Communicating – Interacting verbally and non-verbally
Emotional Development – form feelings about self and others.
The expected pattern is divided into age ranges. These age ranges are from birth to 3 months old, 3...

Research of evidence, which describes the development of infants’ sensory abilities and how research has generated this knowledge.
This assay will describe the development of infant’s senses of their 18 months of life and will define how this knowledge has generated. The development of the sensory and the nervous system is not whole at birth and will continue to mature until the adolescence. As babies cannot express themselves with words it has to be trough observations, those theorists make assumptions to try to understand their word for instance according to Piaget the confusion early in life only start make a logic world through their specific actions are linked to their perceptions. In contrast to his theory others academics claim that infants are born with some elementary understanding of some aspects of their surroundings
This assay also will describe and overview the major development of the infant and will look at the baby sensory abilities, perception, cognition and behaviour that are part of a united energetic system. Also will be looking at the different theories, their definitions the maturity rate of the vision and hearing and cross-modal.

ChildDevelopment and Theories
Introduction
For this activity, I chose Jesus Lares from Tacoma, Washington. Jesus is 8 years old, in the 3rd grade, of Hispanic decent, and is an only child. Jesus enjoys a variety of afterschool activities such as baseball and karate and he also enjoys spending time with his friends. In home play consists of playing with toy guns and building space ships with Lego’s. The primary language at home is English, though when his grandparents are around, Spanish is primarily spoken. His mother and father are also of Hispanic decent and both work in the education system.
I planned a science experiment for Jesus which I decided to name, “Vinegar and Oil”. The experiment had Jesus mix oil and vinegar together to see if they will mix. The materials involved were one cup of vegetable oil, one cup of vinegar, one egg, and two bowls. The brisk air outside had us do the experiment inside his house. I prearranged and gathered all the materials needed so time would not be wasted on finding materials, and limit questions. An instruction sheet was also placed so Jesus could read and follow the directions on how to properly do the experiment. I expected Jesus to be excited about his experiment because he loves to see reactions. This one would not be an explosion, but still an interesting reaction between oil and vinegar.
The experiment...
